Oral Presentation Information

The duration of a presentation slot is 15 minutes. This time includes Q&A time, so please prepare accordingly.

A LCD projector & computer with MS PowerPoint will be available in every session room for regular presentations.

In an effort to streamline the set up process for all presentations, the TALE 2024 Organizing Committee would like to kindly request all authors upload their presentation slides using the form below. 

Please upload your presentation no later than Saturday, December 7 to ensure your presentation is accounted for. We still strongly urge all authors to follow the full instructions below for oral presentations.

Preparation of Visuals
  • PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU MUST BRING BRING A MEMORY STICK CONTAINING YOUR PRESENTATION FILE.
  • Files can be uploaded to the local PCs in the lecture rooms during the coffee breaks or at lunch. You may also upload your file using the form link above. Please note we strongly advise you still bring a physical copy of your presentation on a memory stick. 
  • To avoid software compatibility problems (MS Powerpoint), speakers are advised to EMBED ALL FONTS in your Powerpoint file AND bring a backup PDF-version of your presentation.
  • Speakers should arrive in their session room 15 minutes BEFORE the start of your session to report to the session chair. A proctor will also be available in case you need technical assistance.
  • Speakers are strongly encouraged to visit the Speaker Preparation room in advance of your presentation to avoid any last minute problems. The Speakers’ Preparation room will be available on all days that sessions are scheduled.
General Considerations
  • Limit the number of words per visual to no more than 20.
  • Leave space, at least the height of a capital letter, between lines of text.
  • All fonts, including that on graphs, should be 18 point or larger.
  • Graphs and charts should have bold lines and symbols that contrast sharply with the background.
